Go to view-toolbars-customize. Then delete it.

skyfire · 10-22-2004, 05:54 AM

Dont have any customize option... Btw, its also showin up under the tools rollout.

Not sure what your talking about Animal.

Well, one option is to remove it using Ad-aware. It should help with that.

Ad-aware Download Page

Right click on tool bar, then click on Customize

skyfire · 10-22-2004, 12:34 PM

Still nothing thats removed it...

abearaware · 10-22-2004, 12:48 PM

Check out add remove programs in the control panel. Remove anything that is related to search engines or toolbars. It most likely installed another app that is responsible for the toolbar.

Also after you uninstall anything spyware-related, try running ad-aware or spybot in safe mode (f8 on startup, and select it from the boot menu). If you run windows only with minimal drivers, the process which is blocking you from getting rid of the spyware won't load.

Still using IE? Try FireFox (http://www.mozilla.org). You might just like it.

You know If I had any friends that used my system I would make them use Knoppix and just reboot into windows when they left. Then they could fuck around as much as they want to online and I could just erase it, plus I could leave the drives unmounted so they couldn't dig around in my HDDs.

I briefly tried Firefox today, didnt really like it, but I also didnt use it long. I fixed IE, I reinstalled that crap he put on it, and removed it again. Problems now fixed, go figure...

imo run an adaware and spybot scan

www.lavasoftusa.com for adaware
and for spybot its called "Spybot search & destroy" version 1.3
make sure definitions are up to datte
and it should clean out your ie from your hijack bs
